WeatherDynamics Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

WeatherDynamics is designed to provide detailed weather information without requiring users to create an account or participate in advertising or behavioral tracking.

The application does not include advertising or analytics functionality and does not sell personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information WeatherDynamics uses, where that information is processed, what remains on your device, and how third-party weather services support the application.

1. Who We Are

WeatherDynamics is an independently developed weather application operated by a Texas-based individual software developer.

For privacy questions or requests, contact:

Email: [email protected]

Website: https://weather-dynamics.com

2. Information We Use

WeatherDynamics uses limited information necessary to provide forecasts, observations, radar, maps, and other weather products.

Depending on the features you use, this may include:

• Your current location, if you grant permission.
• The coordinates of locations you search for or select.
• Saved locations and application preferences stored on your device.
• Requests for weather observations, forecasts, alerts, maps, and radar products.
• Technical request information processed by the services delivering weather data.

You do not need to provide your name, email address, or phone number to use the application.

If you email support, we receive the contact information and message contents you choose to send. That correspondence is used to respond to your request.

3. Location Information

How location is used

With your permission, WeatherDynamics can access your iPhone's location to retrieve weather information for your current area.

You can also search for and select locations manually.

The application uses the selected location to request relevant weather products from supported data providers.

Location history

WeatherDynamics is not designed to maintain a historical record of your movements.

Saved places and recent weather information are stored locally on your device as described below.

Third-party processing

Requests for location-specific weather products may include geographic coordinates or other geographic identifiers.

The services receiving these requests may also process your device's public IP address and technical connection information.

Their collection and retention practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Your choices

You can disable location permission at any time:

iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → WeatherDynamics

WeatherDynamics can still be used by manually searching for a location.

4. Information Stored on Your Device

WeatherDynamics stores certain information locally to support your preferences and reduce unnecessary downloads.

This may include:

• Saved places and their geographic coordinates.
• Appearance preferences, including color palette and font settings.
• Recent weather observations, forecasts, and radar-related information.
• Locally maintained forecast records where supported.
• Other settings necessary to restore your preferred application experience.

This information is intended to remain on your device rather than being uploaded to a WeatherDynamics user account.

Removing the application generally removes its local application data, subject to applicable iOS storage and backup behavior.

5. Weather and Mapping Data Providers

WeatherDynamics uses external services to obtain meteorological information.

Requests may be made directly from your phone or through WeatherDynamics-operated infrastructure, depending on the product.

National Weather Service

Domains: api.weather.gov, weather.gov

Used for forecasts, weather alerts, meteorological observations, and forecast discussions.

NOAA and Related Weather Centers

Services include: NOAA map services, NOMADS, NWS data distribution systems, the Storm Prediction Center, Climate Prediction Center, Weather Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, National Data Buoy Center, and NOAA Tides and Currents.

Used for radar information, meteorological analyses, outlooks, numerical model guidance, marine information, tropical weather, buoy observations, and tidal products.

NOAA Regional Climate Centers

Domain: data.rcc-acis.org

Used for historical climate data, normals, and daily weather records.

Iowa Environmental Mesonet

Domain: mesonet.agron.iastate.edu

Used for upper-air sounding information.

Amazon Web Services Public NEXRAD Archive

Domain: unidata-nexrad-level2.s3.amazonaws.com

Used to retrieve publicly available NEXRAD Level II radar data.

Requests to this archive identify radar datasets rather than a user's selected place.

Apple

Apple Maps and Apple location services support mapping and location searches in applicable parts of WeatherDynamics.

Apple's privacy practices apply to the services it provides.

6. WeatherDynamics Infrastructure

WeatherDynamics operates infrastructure used to prepare and deliver certain weather and mapping products.

The services described in the current configuration include:

• tiles.weather-dynamics.com: Prepared vector map and tile resources.
• radar.weather-dynamics.com: Prepared radar imagery and radar-related data.

These services support products derived from public NOAA MRMS and NEXRAD datasets.

What requests contain

Requests may identify a map area, radar station, radar product, or observation time.

WeatherDynamics does not require a user account to access these products.

Server logging

Under the currently described application configuration, WeatherDynamics-operated services do not maintain user location histories or account profiles.

The application infrastructure is configured to retain limited information about rejected requests, including their time, response status, and request path, without storing authentication keys.

Request paths can contain geographic or radar-selection information depending on the endpoint.

Cloudflare

WeatherDynamics uses Cloudflare to deliver certain services over the internet.

As part of providing this connection, Cloudflare may process IP addresses, request information, and other technical data according to its own privacy practices.

WeatherDynamics does not control every aspect of Cloudflare's processing or retention.

More information is available in Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

7. Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking

WeatherDynamics does not currently:

• Require user accounts.
• Include advertising networks.
• Use advertising identifiers to track users.
• Include third-party behavioral analytics within the application.
• Sell personal information.
• Track users across other applications or websites for advertising.

These statements describe the application, not the independent operation of third-party websites or services that users may access.

8. Sharing and Disclosure

WeatherDynamics sends information to external services when necessary to retrieve weather information and deliver application features.

The application does not sell user information or share it for targeted advertising.

Service providers may process request information as described in this policy.

If legal obligations require disclosure of information actually held by the developer, requests will be handled according to applicable law.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Saved places, preferences, and cached weather data are primarily maintained on your device.

You can remove locally stored application information by deleting the app, subject to iOS backup and storage behavior.

WeatherDynamics does not operate a user-account database for this application.

Technical records maintained by infrastructure providers may be subject to those providers' own retention policies.

If you contact support, your email correspondence may be retained as needed to respond to your request and maintain a record of support communications.

For questions about personal information held in support correspondence, contact [email protected].

10. Children

WeatherDynamics is a general-audience weather application and is not specifically directed toward children under 13.

It does not require children or adults to create accounts or provide personal contact information to use its weather features.

Limited technical and location-related information may still be processed by the services described in this policy when weather information is requested.

11. Security

WeatherDynamics seeks to limit information collection and relies on platform security protections and appropriate network safeguards.

Public-facing services may process technical request information necessary to provide weather data.

No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security or uninterrupted availability.

12. Your Privacy Choices

You may:

• Deny or revoke location permission.
• Use manually selected locations instead of device location.
• Delete the application and its locally stored application data, subject to iOS backup behavior.
• Contact us with questions about support correspondence or information handled by WeatherDynamics.
• Review the privacy policies of the third-party services identified above.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as WeatherDynamics develops.

Material changes to information collection, retention, or sharing will be reflected in an updated policy, with the revision date shown above.

When applicable, additional notice will be provided in the application or through the website.
